Meanwhile GM is still busy trying to go bankrupt by ignoring the fact that consumers no longer want large fuel-inefficient vehicles. GM is still fighting yesterday's war with yesterday's products.

re: At least some of the money _ revenue gained by rolling back some tax breaks _ will go to a program to support research into making ethanol from sources other than corn.

Looks like the Democrats are the only ones in step with the American people's focus on renewables.

No, the dems are the only ones spewing the rhetoric everyone laps up. Algore didn't do anything in eight years; the dems aren't going to do anything either except maybe raise taxes on the "evil" oil companies making the "obscene" 10% profits...
